OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I'm really pissed I'm several seasons behind, because I would like very much to discuss the Season 1 cliffhanger where

FOUR-YEAR-OLD SPOILER!












Adama gets shot by Boomer.

I did NOT see that coming at all.  This show rules.

Actually, that was one of the few moments of that season that I did see coming.

Regardless, the opening montage of that episode, especially the boxing Adamas, was as good as filmmaking gets.

Remember that when you get to the next boxing episode.

That wasn't the same episode, but, yes, that montage was great.  I guess I was surprised that the Boomer "reveal" happened so early in the series.

Also, Mary McDonnell is one of the best-looking 50+-year-olds out there.

She's so damn good in this show I find myself forgetting about how good she looks and just enjoying her performance.  And if you think she's good in season 1, just wait.

I'm up to season three and just watched the boxing match episode. Very good stuff and I'm thoroughly addicted. I sort of understand why they didn't use the virus to eradicate the entire Cylon racebut I'm confused why they didn't in the very least pump the colonial fleet's ships full of the virus to expose any remaining Cylons.

I'm catching up (now on Season 3; they just got off New Caprica), but I have to mention that Apollo in a fat suit is completely hilarious.

Have you gotten to the boxing episode yet? The most opposite of awful, awful TV.

I've seen a couple of boxing moments, but I strongly suspect that they are not of what you speak.  I will definitely let you know when I see it.

Got to it last night.  Awesome.  Just awesome.  Rule 10.17(c) does not apply in this instance.  Poor Dee, though.

I don't think there's been a better episode since.

For perspective, that's like saying Pixar hasn't been as good since Nemo.
